a child's prayer

After a rough sacrament meeting (wiggly, grumpy, tired, etc), we finally made it to Primary. Lea had been asked last week to give the opening prayer. It didn't occur to me to stay and listen, but Candace asked if I was - sure why not. Lea stood at the microphone, looked to the back to see if I was still there, and gave this sweet prayer: "Dear Heavenly Father, Please help us to feel safely. And...please help us to have a good time at Church. In the name of Jesus Christ, Amen." I was so proud of her. After church I told her how great she did - she said: "I only said two things." Me: "That's okay - you did it by yourself and that's so great!" I was humbled by her simple prayer and all the stress of sacrament meeting disappeared and I enjoyed the rest of church. I love you Lea! :)
